Faint Praise: A Good Question, Partially Answered...........by Dan Friedman

Amidst the bilious anti-Zionism and the mindless Obama-worship coursing through the veins of big time legacy media, this piece by Jackson Diehl, Deputy Editorial Page Editor of the liberal Washington Post, comes as both a surprise and a relief. No doubt Diehl is a decent fellow. Still, he never forgets who signs his paycheck and always stays between the lines, hinting at, but never actually revealing the answer to the important question his commentary poses. Under the circumstances, it’s probably the best we can hope for. However, readers seeking the whole truth about Obama’s visceral animosity toward Israel and the Jews will have to look elsewhere. df


Why is Obama so tough on Israel and timid on Syria?
